Upcoming election (1)

As we approach Election Day on Tuesday, it is important to remember that, as well as voting for President and Vice President, we also elect all of the Members of the House of Representatives and one third of the Senate.

Given the Congress's pathetically poor performance (polls give it an approval rating even lower than that of President George W. Bush) over the past eight years, Oliver Cromwell's 1649 dismissal of the Rump Parliament is worth considering:

"You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go"!

If in any doubt, then, vote against the incumbent.
